Over the last three games the Padres are averaging 54.5 points a game, having outscored teams 164-26.

The first team defense, anchored by Robert Brown and Zach DeZee, has not allowed a point in the last three games. In fact, the defense has yet to allow a point in the third quarter all year.

Dating back to last year, Carmel has not lost a game that Dakota Mornhinweg has played in — eight straight wins.

The junior tailback has rushed for over 400 yards and seven touchdowns, and has turned four of his 12 catches this season into touchdowns.

Kai Lee has thrown 12 touchdowns passes to four different receivers this season, with seven of them having been 45 yards or longer.

After three non-league losses to teams a combined 12-1, Monte Vista surpassed its point total from the previous three games with 34 points in beating Soledad.

The Mustangs have struggled offensively in the first quarter, having scored just seven points. Carmel has scored 74 points in the first 12 minutes of the game this year.

Friday: Alisal (3-2) at Scotts Valley (3-2), 7:30 p.m.

Judging by the amount of passes that both teams have thrown this year, it might feel like a running clock is being used in this Mission Division battle.

Half of Julian Renteria’s four completions this fall have gone for touchdowns for Alisal, while Kyle Rajala has thrown 10 passes all season for the Falcons, two of them for touchdowns.

While both teams are heavily run oriented systems, they’re different. Alisal is more of a veer offense while Scotts Valley is a point of attack running game.

The two losses Scotts Valley has absorbed this year are to teams a combined 10-0 while Alisal went 2-2 against four ‘A’ League opponents.

The number 21 has come up big in the last two games for the Trojans, outscoring Seaside 21-0 in the second half, and putting up 21 straight points in the first half last week against North Salinas.

Dorian Segovia has rushed for 10 touchdowns from his fullback position for Alisal, running behind an offensive line anchored by 330-pound Isaac Duenas.

The third quarter has been big for Alisal, having outscored opponents 55-23. The Falcons have scored only six points in the third quarter all year.

Injuries have riddled Scotts Valley, which brought up a second string junior varsity tailback to fill a void in the backfield.

Rajala has rushed for 154 yards and shares the team lead in touchdowns with three. This is the first meeting ever between these two schools.

Friday: Alvarez (1-3) at Salinas (2-2), 7:30 p.m.

As impressive as going to Milpitas and shutting them out 25-0 two weeks ago was for Salinas, last week’s second-half effort on defense against Palma was even better.

So it took a couple of games for the Cowboys to rediscover their identity. Didn’t something similar occur last year?

Turns out it was always there — a punishing offensive line and a front seven on defense that is as filthy as any in the Central Coast Section as a unit.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt when quarterback Carl Richardson can stand back in the pocket and pick and choose his targets, throwing for over 330 yards, finding five different receivers.

Alvarez took its lumps in a winless preseason. But an extra week to iron out deficiencies was evident in a 28-0 Gabilan Division opening win over Gilroy.

The Eagles offense had a different look in their win over Gilroy. The result saw them surpass their point total from the previous three games.

Simplifying its look saw quarterback Ben Perez rush for a touchdown and toss a 45-yard touchdown pass to Deklend Ulrich.

What Salinas would like to eliminate is coming from behind. It has trailed in the first quarter in three of its four games.

The Eagles are looking to snap a 13-game losing streak to Salinas that dates back to 2002, when a running back named Anthony Gonzalez (the current Alvarez coach) rushed for 60 yards and scored a touchdown.
